Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Awesome service

I love that I can contact an advisor whatever time of day it is, and not restricted to "normal office hours". Their live chat is the best of the bunch - easy to use, intuitive and get a fast response with correct information from a real human being. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

A bank for the 21st century

Excellent bank, very simple switch and an excellent app. Highly recommended. The ability to simply manage funds, make payments and deposit even cheques it brilliant. A bank for the online world we live in. Particularly like the spaces that mean I spend money online from sections of my account for that purpose. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
